Thousands of shoppers swear by these lightweight pants picks, which we pulled from Amazon’s Best-Sellers section. From cargo pants to wide-leg palazzos, you’ll find yourself reaching for these cozy pants all summer long, and they’ll probably become your favorite travel pair, too.

Anrabess Linen Palazzo Pants

If you haven’t hopped on this bandwagon yet, it’s time to climb on because these best-selling palazzos have sold 3,000 in the past month alone with many reviewers calling them their go-to pants for international flights. Available in more than 20 colors, these stretchy, pull-on pants are made from a lightweight rayon and linen blend that’s easy to dress either up or down. Wear them to yoga, on a night out, vacation, at the beach, or just casually around the house. 

“These pants are amazing,” one five-star reviewer wrote. “I bought them for a summer trip and I was always comfortable in them! The elastic at the waist is not too tight and the material is really soft.” They added, “Even though the directions say hand-wash only, they have survived many laundromat washers and dryers.”

Lee Flex-to-Go Cargo Pant

We can’t believe we’re saying it but it’s true, capris pants are in style again. Now that they’re back, these best-sellers from Lee are flying off the Amazon shelves, and already have more than 1,500 perfect five-star ratings. These Flex-to-Go pants marry the popular capris length with the on-trend cargo pant style that has replaced skinny jeans lately. They feature a mid-rise waist with a relaxed fit in both the bum and thighs, and hit just below the knee. There are two cargo pockets on each side, though it’s up to you whether you use them to hold your essentials or rock them just for show.

One shopper said, “Wow—pants that actually fit and are flattering.” They added, “I’m going to order a few more pairs in other colors” because they’re “the perfect summer pants when you don’t want to wear shorts.”

Lillusory Summer Palazzo Pants

Something about these linen-blend palazzo pants has us living out our Princess Jasmine fashion fantasies, and you deserve one in every color. Featuring a very flexible, casual waistband that closes to your preference with a drawstring, you’re in charge of how comfortable these slouchy loungers are (at least at the waist) and you can adjust them accordingly. (Bloated? Loosen ‘em!) The stylish wide legs and two front pockets totally complete the beachy vibe and prove they’re perfect for summer vacation, beach days, traveling, and beyond.

“I bought these for a summer trip to Europe and wanted to wear them every single day,” a shopper who gave these pants a perfect five stars wrote. “They’re very lightweight, comfortable, and were great for travel days on trains.” They added that “the material is breathable” and the pants were “not see through.”
